Donald Trump depresses his pulse with China, while the commercial conflict is still open. On the one hand, the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Wednesday that “under the leadership of President Trump, the State Department will work together with the Department of National Security in order to withdraw visas of Chinese students, including ties with the Chinese Communist Party or students in strategic sectors.”
“In the same way,” says Rubio, “the criteria for a visa concession will be considered in order to increase the level of verification in all future requests from the People’s Republic of China and Hong Kong.”
This action against China is the third news that occurs in this environment due to an increase in restrictions at the entrance to the United States, in parallel with the advent of foreign students in Harvard.
On Wednesday, Rubio announced new restrictions on entry into the United States, which will affect people related to the alleged “pursuit of US citizens and companies”.
In addition to the traditional criticism of the United States in China, Russia, Iran, Cuba or Venezuela, the Trump administration has recently expanded its reproaches for European allies in complete commercial negotiations with the European Union.
“For too long, American citizens have been fined, persecuted and even processed by foreign authorities for the exercise of their right to freedom of expression,” Rubio said. “Today I am announcing a new policy of limiting a visa, which will be applied to officials and foreign persons who are accomplices in censorship against the Americans.
And he adds: “Foreigners who work to undermine the rights of Americans should not use the privilege of travel to our country. Either in Latin America, Europe, in other regions, the passiveness time ended in the face of those who threatens the rights of US citizens. ”
In a note disseminated by the state department and signed by rubio himself, it is state: “in some cases, Foreign Officials Have Carried Flagrant CensorShip. Actions AGAINST US Technology Companies and Against Citizens or Residents of the Us, Without Having Authority to So SO. Issue – or Threaten to Issue – Arresters AGainSt Citizens or Residents of Publications On Social Networks Made on American Platforms, While the Ari Are Physically in the territory.
Earlier, Rubio announced other restrictions with the argument of anti -Semitism. “Under the leadership of President Trump, the United States will be with the Jewish people,” Rubio said, identifying the Jewish people with the Israeli government. “We launched a new visa policy that prevents the entry into the country of foreigners who come to sow hatred of our Jewish community. We require responsibility to international organizations and countries for their rhetoric against Israel, which then appears in the manifestos of such killers as Yaron and Sarah, ”he added.
Export paralysis
In the same environment, in addition, New York Times He published that the Trump administration suspended sales in China from critical technologies made in the United States, including those related to reactions, semiconductors and specific chemicals.
The measure, according to the newspaper, responds to the recent restrictions imposed by Beijing to the export of strategic minerals in the United States, a solution that, according to the knowledgeable sources of this, threatens to paralyze the collaces of the proposal of American companies.
These new restrictions are suitable for the two greatest economies in the world to war with supplies chains, in which Washington and Beijing strive to influence the main economic components in order to get an advantage in an increasingly stressful commercial conflict.
The impulse can have important consequences for sectors that depend on foreign technologies, such as planes, robots, cars and manufacturers of microchips, says New York TimesField
In addition, this measure may impede the attempts of both powers to reach an agreement that ends the commercial war unleashed by Trump’s policy on tariff politicians.
On May 12, participants in negotiations from both countries agreed to reduce mutual tariffs within 90 days, and in search of a solution.
